General Discussion
Not being defensive in the least. Entirely up to people whom they contact (if they choose to contact anyone at all). As and when I get information on this subject I will post it on here.
Given that the sender makes a point of requesting that the text be shared - see last line- who it got sent to originally is not relevant. It is doing 'the rounds'. That is why I posted it on here. I could just as easily not have done so. Why not send your opinions to them all if you are so worried.
I have received this: DTC LAWN WORKING PARTY A working party has been convened by Dawlish Town Council and which also includes representatives from other organisations in Dawlish. The aim of this group is to bring forward a vision for the future of The Lawn to bring forward to Teignbridge District Council, the landowners, for the long -term future of this much -loved green ...
It seems that there is a sum of £20,000 from GWR towards the cost of the playpark but this money is time limited to April 2019. (although September 2019 was also mentioned in the town council meeting). This sum is less than 10% of the total required which is in excess of £240,000.

@Willkiner - yes you are correct. There is indeed some time-limited money available.

To follow on from your post above - if we are all going to get nuked there's no point in building the playpark in the first place, is there? Best do as Cassandra suggests then and start building nuclear bunkers ...

And given that the suggested location of the playpark (on ground which is presently covered with grass) would involve that land being covered in a less porous material (or even non porous material) said proposed playpark would ...
Okay so.......I have to say that I am all for having a new bandstand on the lawn and I like the old victorian/edwardian type of design as can be found here http://www.leanderarchitectural.co.uk/products/bandstands_bandstand/ Thoughts anyone?

I have just emailed the town clerk asking where and when this new lawn working party convenes and also who sits on it. I'll let you know what info I get back.
